RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 4 Minjia Cai 2018-07-04 02:13:02 UTC
Reproduce:

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Host: 
    kernel: 3.10.0-862.9.1.el7.ppc64le
    qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-21.el7_5.4.ppc64le
    SLOF-20170724-2.git89f519f.el7.noarch


Guest kernel: kernel:  3.10.0-862.9.1.el7.ppc64le

How reproducible: 100%



Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define one vm and boot up it, for example:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm \
    -name 'avocado-vt-vm1'  \
    -sandbox off  \
    -machine pseries  \
    -nodefaults  \
    -vga std  \
    -chardev socket,id=qmp_id_catch_monitor,path=/var/tmp/monitor-catch_monitor0,server,nowait \
    -mon chardev=qmp_id_catch_monitor,mode=control  \
    -chardev socket,id=serial_id_serial0,path=/var/tmp/serial-serial0,server,nowait \
    -device spapr-vty,reg=0x30000000,chardev=serial_id_serial0 \
    -device nec-usb-xhci,id=usb1,bus=pci.0,addr=0x3 \
    -device virtio-scsi-pci,id=virtio_scsi_pci0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 \
    -drive id=drive_image1,if=none,snapshot=off,aio=threads,cache=none,format=qcow2,file=/home/RHEL-7.5-20180322.0.qcow2 \
    -device scsi-hd,id=image1,drive=drive_image1 \
    -device virtio-net-pci,mac=9a:4a:4b:4c:4d:4e,id=net0,netdev=tap0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x5,vectors=514,mq=on  \
    -netdev tap,id=tap0,vhost=on \
    -m 8G  \
    -smp 8,cores=4,threads=2,sockets=1 \
    -device usb-tablet,id=usb-tablet1,bus=usb1.0,port=1  \
    -device usb-kbd,id=usb-kbd1,bus=usb1.0,port=2  \
    -vnc :1  \
    -rtc base=utc,clock=host  \
    -boot menu=off,strict=off,order=cdn,once=c \
    -enable-kvm \
    -qmp tcp:0:6666,server,nowait \
    -monitor stdio \



2. [root@ibm-p8-rhevm-08 home]# sh test.sh
QEMU 2.10.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) systemctl stop kdump
unknown command: 'systemctl'
(qemu) dump-guest-memory  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/test
(qemu) dump-guest-memory  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/test1
(qemu) dump-guest-memory  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/test2
(qemu) dump-guest-memory  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/test3
(qemu) dump-guest-memory  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/test3
(qemu) dump-guest-memory  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/test4
dump: failed to save memory



3. Check the crash coredump file is automatically created on Host:
[root@ibm-p8-rhevm-08 dump]# ls -lh /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/
total 46G
-rw------- 1 root root 7.6G Jul  3 03:23 guest
-r-------- 1 root root 8.1G Jul  3 04:31 test
-r-------- 1 root root 8.1G Jul  3 04:32 test1
-r-------- 1 root root 8.1G Jul  3 04:34 test2
-r-------- 1 root root 8.1G Jul  3 04:37 test3
-r-------- 1 root root 6.0G Jul  3 04:48 test4
[root@ibm-p8-rhevm-08 dump]# df -h /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/
Filesystem                                Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/rhel_ibm--p8--rhevm--08-root   50G   50G  650M  99% /
 
the result as 2:the error message is not explicit


Steps to verify:
change host qemu-kvm-rhel version to:
qemu-kvm-rhev-2.12.0-6.el7.ppc64le.rpm  

1.boot the vm 
2.[root@ibm-p8-rhevm-08 home]# sh test.sh
QEMU 2.12.0 monitor - type 'help' for more information
(qemu) dump-guest-memory  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/test
(qemu) dump-guest-memory  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/test1
(qemu) dump-guest-memory  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/test2
(qemu) dump-guest-memory  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/test2
(qemu) 
(qemu) dump-guest-memory  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/test3
(qemu) dump-guest-memory  /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/test4
dump: failed to save memory: No space left on device
(qemu) 
3.
[root@ibm-p8-rhevm-08 home]#  df -h /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/dump/
